Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

There is no error in the judgment that Norman F. Haft is guilty of criminal contempt. The appropriate fine for such an offense cannot exceed $500, however, the fine imposed here was $2,500. Section 775.02, Florida Statutes (1983); Aaron v. State, 284 So.2d 673 (Fla. 1973) and Thomas A. Edison College, Inc. v. State Board of Independent Colleges & Universities, 411 So.2d 257 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982). Thus, the order appealed is remanded to the trial court with directions to reduce the fine to not more than $500.00. In all other respects, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

HERSEY, GLICKSTEIN and DELL, JJ., concur.
